Walker Jenkins Back on the Stash Radar Amid Rehab Assignment
Minnesota Twins top outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) recently began his rehab assingment wth Low-A Fort Myers and is progressing toward a return to Triple-A. Jenkins has been on the shelf since the start of May with this shoulder injury, but is now not only back on the field, but is showing his elite upside. In his first rehab outing with Low-A, Jenkins went 4-for-5 with a double and a home run. Prior to the injury, Jenkins appeared in 25 games at St. Paul and posted a .256/.396/.389 line with two home runs, five stolen bases, and an 18:19 K:BB. While his bat is still adjusting to Triple-A pitching, the young outfielder has continued to showcase his elite eye at the dish. While the 21-year-old will likely need another week of rehab action before re-joining St. Paul, he will quickly climb the stash rankings as he should compete for an MLB debut early in the second half.
